These are unprecedented times. All Virginians are experiencing extreme disruption to their lives and daily schedules. Change can be stressful for any individual, and especially for those with disabilities and their families. Our team at the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has compiled a list of online resources intended to support families in the days ahead. It is our hope that these online materials provide support to create meaningful structure for all students, including those with disabilities, while being sensitive to families and their individual needs.
